A planning application has been submitted to remove the 'deteriorating' Gorey Pier landing stage.
Ports of Jersey wants to remove the structure to help stabilise the Grade I-listed pier and retain its heritage.
The upper deck and its support pillar will be taken down, and temporary supports will be erected from the lower deck to the original pier structure.
Harbour Master Captain William Sadler says they have taken great care to understand the structural challenges at Gorey Pier and to plan a way forward that protects its future.
"The landing stage has served the island well for decades, but it’s now time to take the necessary steps to ensure the pier remains safe and usable for generations to come."
If the planning application process runs smoothly, Ports of Jersey aims start work in March or April 2026 and have it completed before the summer season.
It says the work will be done from the seaward side to minimise disruption to people using the pier.
This is the first phase of a wider project, aiming to protect Gorey Pier.
Early results from an investigation into the pier arms and head, conducted in the summer, show that targeted maintenance and upgrades will help to improve its condition over the coming years.
